This year, now that I’m older, I am enjoying a slower pace in life, intentionally making fewer heavy commitments. It’s my choice to deliberately drive less, feel less driven, reduce stress, listen to others more, and lighten my load as a recovering collector.
Taking time to support memory is a higher priority this year. Deliberate reminders, properly placed on iPhone Calendar and Notes, are more vital than ever. For the record after shopping, I change “Get” to “Got”. My wife Kay’s habit of crossing out handwritten lists worked well for her. Our children enjoy reviewing her saved notebooks as a type of detailed diary.
A favorite performance of “Slow Down”, sung by Sissel in the 2019 Pioneer Concert with The Tabernacle Choir, is a heavenly reminder with a link kept in my Notes. It helps me feel God’s love. Treat yourself to a slower pace at times, and have a blessed day!
